Thursday Room Hopping – The Big Blue Ball edition

Bwog doesn’t have the cash to “pimp your room,” and we certainly don’t want to raid it and then date you. So we bring you the semi-weekly Thursday feature, the “Cribs-esque” Room Hopping… continuing with Bwog’s new afroed acquaintance…

Ed Trefts, C’08, has few items in his tight Shapiro single. The room is an excercise in minimalism, but he’ll tell you this wasn’t an intentional design statement. “Its just how it turned out, and how I sort of am,” he said.

His room contains naught but bed, books (mostly of the retired CC variety), sustenence (in the form of a box of Cheerio’s and some potato bread), and a big blue ball. Oh, and the pump for said big blue ball:

“My dad sort of wants to bond over exercise, so he got me this ball and he insists I take it wherever I go,” Treft says, just a bit irritated.

“My room’s pretty spare and [the ball’s] a cool thing to have. You can sit on it. So that’s cool,” he says.

To characterize the room as completely barren may be an exaggeration — his Night of the Living Dead poster hangs forebodingly over his bed. He likes the director, George Romero.

And there’s a stack of poker chips on his bookshelf. Not for poker, but for fiddling with in concentration.
